The most important thing to think about when going shopping is how you'll be paying for it all! Organise your finances and decide how much you will be spending on the overall trip and if possible, on each item. Also make note of whether you'll be using cash or card, and be sure to have things organised so money can be kept safe and away from the unwanted muggers.
Another important factor is what you're buying because that will help determine where you're going. You'll need to organise your shopping list and think about the stores you could stop at to get those items. Since you'll have to pay for the transportation to and from the stores (whether it be gas for your personal vehicle or public transportation) it's a good idea to find stores close to each other. Also consider that you'll have to walk from one store to the other with everything you purchase, so for the sake of your back and feet, try to limit the number of stores you have to stop at.
Taking into consideration transportation, you may want to think about how you'll be getting to and from your shopping trip. Remember that you may be starting off with nothing in hand, but by the end of the night you'll have bags lugging around with and depending on the types of gifts purchased it may be a whole lot for you to manage on your own. See if you can carpool with friends or neighbours to reduce the issue of parking spots and of course giving you a safe way to get home with all your merchandise.
With a little organization shopping trips can be much easier. Don't forget to hit the road in comfortable shoes, your shopping list and a plan of action. Another thing you'll surely need to remember is how the gifts will be packaged. On your list keep in mind that you'll need wrapping paper, tape, gift bags, tissue paper, pretty bows and probably even some gift tags.
Hope this helps you get it all done!
